Year 4

We hope you have had a fabulous summer and are ready for the term ahead, which will be full of exciting learning experiences and opportunities!

This term we will be finding out about changes in technology throughout history and will be investigating living things and habitats in our local environment. We will also be going on a fantastic trip!

In English will be developing our reading, writing, speaking and listening skills as well as improving our handwriting and spelling. In Maths we will be focusing on number and problem solving. Remember to use Mathletics and My Maths, at home as well as school, and keep challenging yourself!

Key information:

P.E. Days: Monday and Friday (indoor and outdoor kits will be needed on both days).

Homework: Will be set every Wednesday and must be returned to school on or before the following Monday. Spellings will be given out every Wednesday and tested the following Monday.

Reading Records: Children are expected to read at least five times a week. Reading records are checked on a weekly basis and must be signed by an adult for at least one of the occasions that your child has read. Thank you for your support.

Medicines and Inhalers: If your child uses an asthma pump, please bring a spare inhaler to be kept in school and complete the Healthcare Plan and Request to Administer Medicines Form on our website.

Outdoor clothing: Please ensure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather as many lessons at Thomas Harding take place outdoors – even if it is raining! Your child must have a pair of old trainers or wellies in school at all times.
